What We're Doing

The City of Stillwater and Stillwater Utilities Authority is upgrading three of the sludge beds at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Benefits

Upgrades include replacement of deteriorated concrete and reversal of the slope of the beds to provide better access to collection equipment. The other sludge beds will remain in service during this project to maintain the plant's capacity.
